Simultaneous removal of Hg-0 and NO from flue gas by Co-0.3-Ce-0.35-Zr0.35O2 impregnated with MnOx
Hg-0 removal with SCR system can result in co-benefits of the apparatus, but the simultaneous removal efficiencies of Hg-0 and NO are not good enough and the mechanism of interaction between Hg-0 and SCR atmosphere has not been well known. In our previous work, Co-0.3-Ce-0.35-Zr0.35O2 has been proved to have an excellent Hg-0 oxidation efficiency. Therefore, in the present work, Co-0.3-Ce-0.35-Zr0.35O2 was used as a support to load SCR active component Mn and to obtain Mn-0.1/Co-0.3-Ce-0.35-Zr0.35O2 catalyst. Mn-0.1/Co-0.3-Ce-0.35-Zr0.35O2 showed excellent simultaneous efficiencies of Hg-0 oxidation (83.6%) and NO conversion (89.4%) at 180 degrees C under a high GHSV 180,000 h(-1). Furthermore, the interaction between Hg-0 and SCR atmosphere lowered the simultaneous efficiencies when compared to the separated ones. The decrease of Hg-0 oxidation efficiency in SCR + Hg-0 atmosphere was mainly attributed to the competitive adsorption between NH3 and Hg-0. Although NO and O-2 were beneficial for Hg-0 oxidation, it could not offset the inhibitive effect of NH3. Meanwhile, HgO accumulated on the catalyst surface resulted in occupation of active sites, which was responsible for the decrease of NO conversion in SCR + Hg-0 atmosphere. The individual gas components (H2O and SO2) showed negative effects on the simultaneous efficiencies of Hg-0 oxidation and NO conversion. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
